I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

    I’m 45 and topfit. If you really feel like you’re declining at 30 you’ve never taken care of yourself. What makes you think you can do it now?

    Preferably to remain steady: Eat a varied (mostly) plant based diet. Work up a sweat at least 3 times a week and do some light movement everyday for 30 minutes. You don’t need to do anything crazy, you don’t need to fucking start pumping iron, you don’t need to become a protein bro. Just find 30 minutes a day and stop eating food that you already know is bad for yourself. Especially not too much.

    And fucking go to a doctor when your joints hurt or it takes you 5 time’s longer to heal. It’s not normal. Stop normalizeing being unhealthy.
